    @@@@@They discuss marriage versus a career for her, academically, abstractly; of course it concerns neither of themThey are the thinkers, regarding lifeAnd in the complicated, relished, introspective web of young lovers, or more exactly, young petters, they progress along the oldest channel in the world and the most deceptive, for they are certain it is unique to themEven as they are calling themselves engaged, they are losing the details of their subtle involved pledging of a trothThey are moved and warmed by intimacies between them, by long husky conversations in the parlor, in inexpensive restaurants, by the murmurs, the holding of hands in the dark velvet caverns of movie housesThey forget most of the things that have advanced them into love, feel now only the effect of themAnd of course their conversation alters, new themes are bruitedShy sensitive girls may end up as poetesses or they may turn bitter and drink alone in bars, but nice shy sensitive Jewish girls usually marry and have children, gain two pounds a year, and worry more about refurbishing hats and trying a new casserole than about the meaning of lifeAfter their engagement,, Natalie talks over their prospects
    Oh, honey, you know I don't want to nag you, but we can't get married on the money you're making; after all, you wouldn't want me to live in a cold-water flatA woman wants to fix up things and have a nice home, it's awfully important, Joey
    I understand what you mean, he answers, but, Natalie honey, it's not such an easy thing, there's been a lot of talk about a recession, and you can't tell, it might be a depression coming again
    Joey, it's not like you to talk like that, what I like about you is you're so strong and optimistic
    No, you make me that wayHe sits there quite silentYou know, I'll tell you, I do have an idea, I've been thinking of going into welding, it's a new field but not so new that it isn't establishedOf course I think that plastics or television is the thing to come, but it's undependable yet, and I don't have the education for that, I have to face it
    That sounds all right, JoeyIt's not such a snooty profession, but maybe in a couple of years you'll be able to own a store
    A shop, shop, that isn't anything to be ashamed of
    They discuss it, decide he must go to night school for a year until he is trainedThe thought makes him moodyI won't be able to see you so much, maybe only a couple of nights a week, I'm wondering if that's such a healthy thing
    Oh, Joey, you don't understand me, when my mind is made up it's made up, I can wait, you don't have to worry about meShe laughs softly, warmly

    The morning still possessed the new shining quality of a minted coinThe men were thrilled only slightly by gucci tote the idea that they were on an unexplored shoreThe jungle behind them looked essentially familiar; the beach, covered with fine delicate shells, was barren and isolated and would shimmer later in the heat, but now it seemed like every beach upon which they had ever landedThey sprawled about, smoking and laughing, waiting for the patrol to begin, perfectly content for the sun to dry their Jimmy choo clothes

    "Ain't no other way to do it far as I see," Croft saidHearn was right, which annoyed him slightly"It's gonna take a lot more time than you figure, Lootenant Croft made him the least bit uneasyHe knew a lot, that was obvious, but you would have to ask him before he supplied any Cartier Watches Tortue answersHearn flicked the map with his fingersAlready, he could feel the sand warming under his feet"It's only two miles through the jungle
    Croft nodded dourly"You can't trust an aerial mapThat little ol' stream might take us where we want to go, but you can't depend on it He spat into the sand"Only damn thing to do is start out, and see jus' what happens

    Scarlett was out of danger, then he'd taken the ferry to Charleston to
    set his mother's mind at rest, knowing how worried she must be"It
    gave us all a shock when we saw a Yankee soldier coming through the
    gate," Anne laughed"He'd borrowed dry clothes from the sergeant

    Scarlett refused to leave the ferry in the wheelchairShe insisted
    that she was perfectly capable of walking women rolex to the house and she did
    walk, stepping out as if nothing had happenedBut she was tired
    when
    they arrived, so tired that she accepted Anne's help to climb the
    stairsAnd after a tray with a hot bean soup and corn muffins, she
    fell again into a deep sleepThere were no nightmares this time
    She was in the familiar soft luxury of linen sheets and feather

    @@@@@She still
    sewed
    for MrsRutledge and her daughter and a few select ladies of her
    choosingSheba could remake rags and flour sacks into creations as
    elegant as anything in Gody's Lady's Book
    Baptized Queen of Sheba by her lay-preacher father, she was indeed a
    queen in her own worldShe ruled the ladies' cloakroom at the Saint
    Cecilia every year, supervising her two neatly uniformed maids, and
    any
    maids accompanying the ladies, in rapid, effective action to meet any
    and all feminine emergenciesTorn hems, spots and stains, lost
    buttons, drooping curls, faintness, overeating, bruised insteps, broken
    hearts -Sheba and her minions dealt with them allEvery ball had a
    room set aside for ladies' needs and maids to staff it, but only the
    Saint Cecilia had Queen of Sheba
    She politely refused to work her magic at any ball other than the
    finestShe could afford to be particularRhett had told Scarlett
    what most people knew but no one said aloudSheba owned the most
    lavish and profitable whorehouse on notorious "Mulatto Alley," the
    stretch of Chalmers Street, only two blocks from the Saint Cecilia,
    where officers and soldiers of the occupying military forces spent the
    better part of their pay packets on cheap whiskey, crooked gambling
    wheels, and women of every age, every shade of skin, and every
    price
    Scarlett looked at Hannah Ellinton's bewildered expressionI'll bet
    she's one of those abolitionists who's never seen a black person close
    up in her life, she thoughtI wonder what she'd do if somebody told
    her about Sheba's other business
    Rhett said Sheha's got more than a million dollars in gold in a vault in
    a bank in EnglandI doubt the Ellintons can match that
    hen Scarlett reached the entrance to the ballroom, it was her turn to
    stop short, unaware that there were others following herShe was
    overwhelmed by a beauty that was magical, too lovely to be realThe
    huge ballroom was lit brilliantly, yet softly, by candlelightFrom
    four cascades of crystal that seemed to float high aboveFrom paired
    gilt-and-crystal sconces on the long side wallsFrom tall giltframed
    mirrors that reflected the flames again and again in opposing images
    From night-black tall windows that acted as mirrorsFrom tall
    multi-armed silver candelabra on long tables at each side of the door,
    holding monumental silver punch bowls that held curving light
    reflections golden in their rounded sidesScarlett laughed with

    Madness! At full force Carlos slammed his right shoulder into the blond-haired waiter, propelling
    the young man across the hallway and crashing the room-service table over on its side; dishes and

    "Yes," said rich dad"The briar patch is our fear and our greedGoing into our fear and confronting our greed, our weaknesses, our neediness is the way outAnd the way out is through the mind, by choosing our thoughts
    "Choosing our thoughts?" Mike asked, puzzledChoosing what we think rather than reacting to our emotionsInstead of just getting up and going to work to solve your problems, just because the fear of not having the money to pay your bills is scaring youThinking would be taking the time to ask yourself a questionA question like, `Is working harder at this the best solution to this problem?' Most people are so terrified at not telling themselves the truth-that fear is in control-that they cannot think, and instead run out the doorTar baby is in controlThat's what I mean by choosing your thoughts
    "And how do we do that?" Mike asked
    "That's what I will be teaching youI'll be teaching you to have a choice of thoughts to consider, rather than knee-jerk reacting, like gulping down your morning coffee and running out the door
    "Remember what I said before: A job is only a short-term solution to a long-term problemMost people have only one problem in mind, and it's short termIt's the bills at the end of the month, the Tar BabyMoney now runs their livesOr should I say the fear and ignorance about moneySo they do as their parents did, get up every day and go work for moneyNot having the time to say, `Is there another way?' Their emotions now control their thinking, not their heads
    "Can you tell the difference between emotions thinking and the head thinking?" Mike askedI hear it all the time," said rich dad"I hear things like, `Well, everyone has to work' Or `The rich are crook

    My dad finally put down the paperI could tell he was thinking
    "Well, son," he began slowly"If you want to be rich, you have to learn to make money
    "How do I make money?" I asked
    "Well, use your head, son," he said, smilingWhich really meant, "That's all I'm going to tell you," or "I don't know the answer, so don't embarrass me

    A Partnership Is Formed

    The next morning, I told my best friend, Mike, what my dad had saidAs best I could tell, Mike and I were the only poor kids in this schoolMike was like me in that he was in this school by a twist of fateSomeone had drawn a jog in the line for the school district, and we wound up in school with the rich kidsWe weren't really poor, but we felt as if we were because all the other boys had new baseball gloves, ,,,y
    new bicycles, new everything
    Mom and dad provided us with the basics, like food, shelter, clothes:, But that was about itMy dad used to say, "If you want something, work for it We wanted things, but there was not much work available for 9- , year-old boys
    "So what do we do to make money?" Mike asked
    "I don't know," I said"But do you want to be my partner?"
    He agreed and so on that Saturday morning, Mike became my first business partnerWe spent all morning coming up with ideas on how to 1'make moneyOccasionally we talked about all the "cool guys" at Jimmy's beach house having funIt hurt a little, but that hurt was good, for it inspired us to keep thinking of a way to make moneyFinally, that afternoon, a bolt of lightning came through our headsIt was an idea Mike had gotten from a science book he had readExcitedly, we shook hands, and the partnership now had a busine

    @@@@@His senses were raw, a little inflamedHe remembered with a thick lusting anger in his throat how he had killed the prisoner in the drawJust let me get ahold of a JapHe felt balked on this patrol, infuriated; his rage extended to include everythingHe stared up at Mount Anaka as if measuring an opponentAt that moment he hated the mountain too, considered it a personal affront
    A hundred yards away, he could see the stretcher detail straggling back toward the hollow, the poles they had cut balanced on their shouldersHe restrained himself from calling out to them
    Brown watched their approach dourlyIn a half hour he would be setting out with his litter-bearers, and they would toil a mile or more, perhaps, and then bivouac for the night, alone in this wilderness with only a wounded man for companyHe wondered if he knew the way back, felt completely unsure of himselfWhat if the Japs sent out patrols? Brown felt bitterThere was no way out of itIt seemed like a plot against them allThey were betrayed, that's allHe could not have said who betrayed them, but the idea fed his bitterness, was fragilely pleasant

    In the grove while they were cutting the stretcher poles, Roth found a birdIt was a tiny thing, smaller than a sparrow, with soft dun-colored feathers and a crippled wing, and it hopped about slowly, chirping piteously, as if very tired"Oh, look at that," Roth said
    "What?" Minetta asked Roth dropped his machete and approached it warily, clucking with his tongueThe bird made a little beeping sound, ducking its head to one side like a shy girl"Ah, look at that, it's hurt," Roth saidHe extended his hand, and when the bird didn't move, he grasped it"Aw, what's the matter," he said to it softly, lisping a little as if talking to an infant or a do

    @@@@@But past the valley beneath them, the yellow hills extended only a short distance before altering into darker tans and browns and the gray-blue of rockIn the evening a haze was spreading over the hills, obscuring the pass to the west of Mount Anaka through which they must travelEven the mountain was growing indistinctIt was colored a deep lavender-blue, its mass dissolving, becoming transparent in the late twilightOnly the ridge-lines remained distinctAbove the peak a few delicate clouds perched tenebrously, their forms lost in mist
    Croft put up his field glasses and stared through themThe mountain looked like a rocky coast and the murky sky seemed to be an ocean shattering its foam upon the shoreThe movement of the clouds across the peak seemed like mist sprayThrough the glasses, the image became more and more intense, holding Croft in absorptionThe mountain and the cloud and the sky were purer, more intense, in their gelid silent struggle than any ocean and any shore he had ever seenThe rocks gathered themselves in the darkness, huddled together against the fury of the waterThe contest seemed an infinite distance away, and he felt a thrill of anticipation at the thought that by the following night they might be on the peakAgain, he felt a crude ecstasyHe could not have given the reason, but the mountain tormented him, beckoned him, held an answer to something he wantedIt was so pure, so austere
    He realized with anger and frustration that they would not climb the mountainIf the next day went without incident, they would advance through the pass by nightfall, and he would never have a chance to attempt the mountainHe was balked as he handed the glasses to the Lieutenant
    Hearn was very wearyHe had survived the march without incident, had even felt capable of marching farther, but his body demanded restHe was gloomy, and as he stared through the glasses the mountain troubled him, roused his awe and then his fearIt was too immense, too powerfulHe suffered a faint sharp thrill as he watched the mist eddy about the peakHe imagined the ocean actually driving against a rockbound coast, and despite himself strained his ears as though he could hear the sound of such a titanic strugg

    @@@@@Listen to Jason! The searchlights—someone
    @@@@@Listen to Jason!
    The searchlights—someone had pressed something and they went crazy, spinning around in
    circles, abrupt, blinding, out of control! Where would Carlos go? Where could he hide? The beams
    were erratically piercing everywhere! Then, from an opening that he could not see from across the
    fenced-in area, two police cars raced inside, their sirens blaringUniformed men leaped out from
    every door, and contrary to anything he expected to see, each scrambled to the borders of the fence,
    behind the cars and the vans, one after another dashing from one vehicle to another to the open gate
    that led to the guardhouse and the tunnel
    There was a break in space, in timeIn men! The last four escapees from the second car were
    suddenly three—and only moments later did the fourth appear-but he was not the same—the
    uniform was not the same! There were specks of orange and red, and the visored officer’s cap was
    laced with gold ribbing, the visor itself too prominent for the American army, the crown of the cap
    too pointedAnd, suddenly, Bourne understoodFragments of his memories
    spiraled back years to Madrid or Casavieja, when he was tracing the Jackal’s contracts with the
    FalangistsIt was a Spanish uniform! That was it! Carlos had infiltrated through the Spanish
    compound, and as his Russian was fluent, he was using the high-ranking uniform to make his
    escape from Novgorod
    Jason lurched to his feet, his automatic drawn, and ran across the graveled lot, his left hand
    reaching into his field jacket pocket for his second-to-last flareHe pulled the release and hurled the
    fired stalk above the cars, beyond the fenceBenjamin would not see it from the guardhouse and
    mistake it for the signal to close the gates of the tunnel; that signal would come shortly—in
    seconds, perhaps—but at the moment it was premature, again perhaps by seconds
    “Eto srochno!” roared one of the escaping men, spinning around and panicked at the sight of the
    hissing, blinding flare
    “Skoryeye!” shouted another, passing three companions and racing toward the open section of
    the fenceAs the whirling searchlights continued their maniacal spinning, Bourne counted the
    seven figures as one by one they dashed away from the last car and passed through the opening,
    joining the excited crowds at the mouth of the tunnelThe eighth man did not appear; the highranking
    Spanish uniform was nowhere in sightThe Jackal was trapped!
    Now! Jason whipped out his last flare, yanked the release, and threw it with all his strength over
    the stream of rushing men and women at the guardhouseDo it, Ben! he screamed in silence as he
    removed the next-to-last grenade from the pocket of his field jacketDo it now!
    As if in answer to his fevered plea, a thunderous roar came from the tunnel, round after round of
    hysterical protestations punctuated by screams and shrieks and wailing chaosTwo rapid, deafening
    bursts of automatic gunfire preceded unintelligible commands over the speakers, shouted in
    RussianAnother burst and the same voice continued, louder, even more authoritative, as the
    crowd momentarily but perceptibly quieted down, only to suddenly resume screaming at full
    volumeBourne glanced over, astonished to see through the beams of the spinning searchlights the
    figure of Benjamin now standing on the roof of the concrete guardhouseThe young trainer was

    shouting into the microphone, exhorting the crowd to follow his instructions, whatever they wereAnd whatever they were, they were being obeyed! The multitude gradually, then gathering
    momentum, began reversing direction—then, as a single unit, started racing back into the street!
    Benjamin ignited his flare and waved it, pointing to the northHe was sending Jason his own
    signalNot only was the tunnel shut down but the crowds were being dispersed without anyone

    “We have an airport in Vnokova under our control, no more than an hour awayFirst, I must
    make arrangementsYou, my imbecilic commissar! I will hear no more
    from you! A telefone!” The once all-powerful, now subdued superior, who had really understood
    only such words as “Presidium” and “Central Committee,” moved with alacrity, bringing an
    extension phone to Krupkin’s table
    “One more thing,” said Bourne“Have Tass put out an immediate bulletin with heavy coverage
    in the newspapers, radio and television that the assassin known as Jason Bourne died of wounds
    here in MoscowMake the details sketchy but have them parallel what happened here this
    morning
    “That’s not difficultTass is an obedient instrument of the state

    “I haven’t finished,” continued Jason“I want you to include in those sketchy details that among
    the personal effects found on Bourne’s body was a road map of Brussels and its environsThe town
    of Anderlecht was circled in red—that has to appear
    “The assassination of the supreme commander of NATO—very good, very convincingBourne or Webb or whatever your name may be, you should know that this story
    will splash across the world like a giant tidal wave
    “Are you prepared for it?”
    “Yes, I am
    “What about your wife? Don’t you think you should reach her first, before the civilized world
    learns that Jason Bourne is dead?”
    “NoI don’t even want the slightest risk of a leak

    “It’s a risk I’ll accept,” said Delta coldly
    “You son of a bitch!”

    @@@@@ As an adult, I have difficulty explaining
    @@@@@
    As an adult, I have difficulty explaining it to other adultsWhy? Because adults are smarterIn most cases, the simplicity of the idea escapes most adults because they have been educated differentlyThey have been educated by other educated professionals, such as bankers, accountants, real estate agents, financial planners, and so forthThe difficulty comes in asking adults to unlearn, or become children againAn intelligent adult often feels it is demeaning to pay attention to simplistic definitions

    Rich dad believed in the KISS principle-"Keep It Simple Stupid"-so he kept it simple for two young boys, and that made the financial foundation strong
    So what causes the confusion? Or how could something so simple be so screwed up? Why would someone buy an asset that was really a liabilityThe answer is found in basic education
    We focus on the word "literacy" and not "financial literacy What defines something to be an asset, or something to be a liability are not wordsIn fact, if you really want to be confused, look up the words "asset" and "liability" in the dictionaryI know the definition may sound good to a trained accountant, but for the average person it makes no senseBut we adults are often too proud to admit that something does not make sense
    As young boys, rich dad said, "What defines an asset is not words but numbersAnd if you cannot read the numbers, you cannot tell an asset from a hole in the ground
    "In accounting," rich dad would say, "it's not the numbers, but what the numbers are telling youIt's just like wordsIt's not the words, but the story the words are telling you
    Many people read, but do not understand muchIt's called reading comprehensionAnd we all have different abilities when it comes to reading comprehensionFor example, I recently bought a new VCRIt came with an instruction book that explained how to program the VCRAll I wanted to do was record my favorite TV show on Friday night
